1 / 5

QB ELI MANNING

In his last game against the Eagles, Manning threw for 434 yards, the fourth-highest total of his career. He also racked up 366 yards in the first leg of the 2017 season series. This is 2018, however, and the Giants’ offense is coming off its best numbers of the year after a 31-point output in Carolina.

2 / 5

RB SAQUON BARKLEY

Barkley can join Kareem Hunt as the only players in NFL history with at least 100 scrimmage yards in the first six games of their career.

3 / 5

CB JANORIS JENKINS

With 29 more in Week 5, Jenkins has 447 career interception return yards, second-most in the NFL since he was drafted by the Rams in 2012.

4 / 5

OLB OLIVIER VERNON

Vernon’s 2018 debut looks to be on for Thursday night. The seventh-year veteran has not played this season since suffering an ankle injury in practice in late August. Vernon, who has 44 career sacks, comes back to a Giants defense tied for a league-low six sacks.

*WR ODELL BECKHAM JR. *

Beckham caught (and passed for) his first touchdown of the season last week. With one more 100-yard game receiving, Beckham can surpass Amani Toomer (22) for most in franchise history.
